[Science Guy vs. Humanities Girl + Sweet Romance]
Everyone at school thinks that Lin Yanzhou, the science genius, and Su Zhiwan, the humanities ace, are the perfect couple, the ideal romance of their youth.
No one knows that Lin Yanzhou is a sharp-tongued logic freak who specializes in calling out pretentiousness, while Su Zhiwan is a drama queen and master of setting the mood who specializes in dealing with clueless guys.
Forced to sit together, they begin three years of sabotaging each other:
He picks apart the flaws in her essay logic; she mocks him for having no soul.
He calculates the odds of her eating green peppers; she writes an essay calling him a machine.
The whole school watches the drama: These two can’t stand each other and will never speak again.
Then, one day, everyone realizes:
He argues with everyone, but with her, he always talks tough while going soft.
She imagines a thousand different scenarios, but when it comes to him, her heart is full of affection.
He says, “I never said I didn’t like you.”
She says, “Then why can’t you look me in the eye?”
Rationality is the backbone, and sentiment is the sugar.
The noisiest rivals are the ones who make each other’s best partners for life.
[A playful, trope-busting story about top students, stubborn frenemies, and a romance that gets sweeter with every argument. No angst throughout.]
